The minister knows that her department has let billions of dollars lapse. Our commitments in the last election were for the same amount of infrastructure dollars to be spent. This government has let those monies lapse. The Auditor General flagged that most of the projects being completed today are from the previous Conservative government's legacy program. She's trying to put her name on our homework and get credit for it.
The Parliamentary Budget Officer has also flagged that there's been no private sector investment in Canada Infrastructure Bank projects. There are missing projects, with no tracking of whether or not the programs are even hitting their own targets.
The minister is coming to Parliament to get approval for new spending in the next cycle, but she hasn't been able to track the money she's already been given.
